Was just going to ask what the extra tunnel support was for, did it blow the tunnel out!
Yeah, that'll ruin your day!
What's the bow hatch for? Is it getting interior, is there room even room for one?
Always wondered why skater never did boats with interiors, like mti, nortech etc

Allen , the bow hatch is for the ladies ....which underneath will have a portable pottie , berth , kinda like a day cruiser , back seat , with all the creature pluses and a very nice cockpit with side pannels , just to mention a few things .

It's amazing to see it sat there upside-down outside the factory like that and it's great that someone has taken the time to restore it and put it back to use!

James, the boat was fliped upside down over a period of time because ....of the weather we experience here in Mich, /rain /snow ext ,ext and to tell you the truth i think it sat almost a year ...waiting to be cut up ..... before a friend purchased it .

Hey guys , i would like to mention that when redoing the tanks on a boat made from Epoxy it takes a host of other materials to do the job because Ethanol is solvent which eat's away at the Epoxy ,and in these next few pics i am trying to get the best fit possible for the new baffles before glassing them in .
